For this personal logo project I wanted to create a logo that defines who I am and what I value. I incorporated my family background and my interest in card games into the logo.
My logo's main shape is a playing card because I love playing card games like Texas Hold'em poker, blackjack, crazy 8's and more. Instead of a letter to represent a face card or a number, I decided to put a G for my last name, Gottlieb. However, I did include a classic playing card symbol, the heart. Out of all of the classic playing card symbols, I decided to use the heart to represent my connection with my family. I am very close with my family especially my Dad's side of the family whom I share the "Gottlieb" surname with. In addition, I created a custom version of the flag of the Philippines because my Mom's side of the family is from the Phillipines. The colors of the flag are incorporated in the logo as well in the heart and center image. The Filipino flag's colors are yellow, red and blue. Although, I was not born or raised there, I have been to the Philippines and have embraced the culture and traditions of the country.
Overall, I wanted to represent what I find important to myself. Family has always been something that I have valued and I feel that my logo expresses my appreciation for all of the love, support, inspiration, and shared memories with anyone I call family.
Blake, I love the playing card aspect of your logo I think that gave you room to fiddle around with what you wanted placed in the center, it shows that you put a lot of work into this. One think I would've done would be change the colors on one of the cards to differentiate them a little more. Great job!
ReplyDeleteAndrea, thanks for the feedback. I definitely agree that the colors could be more distinct from each other in each logo. I wanted to incorporate the colors of the flag but struggled finding color themes that were pleasant to the eye. I ended up modifying the colors for my business cards though!
